100
transfer of energy through matter by the direct contact of particles
What is conduction?
100
transfer of energy by the bulk movement of particles
What is convection?
100
transfer of energy in electromagnetic waves
What is radiation?
100
do not allow heat to move easily through them
What is an insulator?
100
label for temperature
What is degrees Celcius? or Kelvin?
200
states of matter in which conduction can occur
What are solid, liquid, and gas?
200
any material which can flow
What is a fluid?
200
the ultimate source of radiation for Earth
What is the sun?
200
allows heat to move free through them
What are conductors?
200
item in a experiment which remains the same throughout
What is a constant?
300
silver, cooper, and aluminum are examples
What are good conductors?
300
fluid particles move during convection from location to another carrying this with them
What is energy?
300
this type of material tends to reflect radiant energy; aluminum foil is an example
What is shiny?
300
Location in a home which requires the most insulation?
What is the attic?
300
The item in an experiment can be linked directly to the "if" portion of the hypothesis.
What is the independent variable?
400
Wood, plastic, and glass are examples.
What are poor conductors?
400
lower temperature fluid particles sinking and higher temperature fluid particles rising creating a cycle
What is a convection current?
400
pigment color most likely to absorb the most radiant energy
What is black?
400
an indication of a materials ability to resist heat flow
What is R-value?
400
A standard for comparison in an experiment.
What is the control?
500
law explaining faster moving particles transferring momentum to slower moving particles
What is the law of conservation of momentum?
500
Fluid particles have more freedom to move around allowing the matter to ______________ as energy is added.
What is expand?
500
only absorbed radiant energy can be converted in to this type of energy
